Switch to LEDs for the climate

Andrew Caseley from Gen Less

Kahutara Primary School in Featherston is switching to LEDs. All LEDs are Gen Less bulbs as they use less energy, which ultimately helps halt climate change. If we all got on board and switched now it would make a huge difference

Hi All,
Just want to share what I’ve experienced ~ I think it is a scam. Please keep yourselves safe.
In the last 3 days since Sunday morning I have received 13 phone calls on my cell phone from ‘No Caller ID’. I didn’t answer the first few times they called, but as they were persistent I thought it might be important so I answered. It is automated, no real people, the message starts “This is not a marketing call” but they don’t identify themselves at all. They then proceed to tell me my year of birth then ask me to key in my day and month of birth. That’s when I hung up, and have denied further calls of my time.
I have contacted my provider which is 2Degrees. They were very helpful and said that I had done the right thing buy hanging up on the caller and then reporting them. 2Degrees are going to investigate the matter for me.
Has anyone experienced the ‘delight’ of these nuisance calls?
Stay safe people. Keep your personal info private.

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.

To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.

Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
